I have submitted OpenFOAM 1.3 readers to both ParaView(www.paraview.org) and Visit (www.llnl.gov/visit). You should see the reader in the cvs version of paraview in the next 2 weeks and in the next release and you should see it in the next release of Visit (in September).

I've download Visit (www.llnl.gov/visit). It looks nice but I could not load OpenFOAM-data into it. The "Open File"-Dialog has the option to read in OpenFOAM, but it only lets me select files (not directories). I tried putting an empty file with the extension .foam in various places (like paraFoam does it), but that wouldn't help either. Am I missing something very obvious?

Is there some documentation that says what works with the Visit-reader and what doesn't? Because I'm still having problems with some of my meshes (mostly wedge-meshes and cyclic BCs)

(Been looking around and the VisIt-site doesn't say too much about OpenFOAM, the Help-function doesn't know anything about OF and as far as I can tell there is no archive for the Visit-mailinglist)

Hi, I experienced exactly the same problem as Iyer's on VisIt-1.5.4 for Windows when reading a tutorial case, tutorials/icoFoam/cavity (I haven't tried other cases). The case is run by the Cygwin version of icoFoam and corrected the 'root' keyword entry in controlDict from cygwin-style path to Windows-style path but it didn't work either. Just for your information for now...

Sorry for the delay, I just looked in to this and it seems to be a problem on the Visit side of things as none of the 3 readers I submitted are working. I have contact Visit and I will let you all know when I have a solution.

There are some issues that arose with the visit reader that should be corrected in the next release. Maybe you could try Paraview instead for the time being.

There is also an inherent problem in Visit with Polyhedral data (vtkConvexPointSet). So if your data contains the OpenFOAM wedge and tet-wedge, there are no corresponding VTK cell types so i used the vtkconvexpointset.
